Ph Electrode Storage Solution Kcl

Use electrode storage solutions with ph and reference electrodes to maintain proper functioning and accurate readings.

Ph electrode storage solution kcl. If 4 m kcl is not available use a ph 4 or 7 buffer solution. Potassium chloride solution also known as ph storage solution or. The substances can reestablish proper working conditions after cleaning procedures or when the electrode has not been in use for an extended time period. If you re out of storage solution ph 4 or 7 buffers can be used in a pinch.

Enhance the performance and extend the life of electrodes. Always keep your ph electrode moist. A ph electrode is active and stable only after wetting. We recommend that you store your electrode in a solution of 4 m kcl.

Potassium chloride electrolyte standard solution 3m chem lab is a filling solution for ph electrodes containing 224g kcl per liter of water. It is used for proper electrode storage to maintain optimal electrode performance. Storing your ph electrode in storage solution rather than water is important for reducing microbial growth preventing the reference electrolyte from leaching out and keeping the junction clear. Do not store electrode in distilled or deionized water this will cause ions to leach out of the glass bulb and render your electrode useless.

For electrodes filled with potassium chloride c kcl 3 mol l as reference electrolyte we have developed a dedicated storage solution which keeps the glass membrane in top quality without impairing the performance of the diaphragm.
